Anyone know much about PAS? Trying to emit a sound on an entity that is > 2500 distance from a player, but it is quiet unless the entity emits the sound below 2500 distance from the player.

Any way to centre text inside DTextEntry?
Also any way to make DTextEntry only allow numbers to be typed into it?

[QUOTE=Mrkrabz;49807589]What's the easiest way to disable certain keys? I'm aware of how to disable jumping, however I tried a similar way to disable 'W' and 'S' keys.

[lua]
local TeamAllow = {
[TEAM_HSW] = {IN_JUMP},
[TEAM_SIDEWAYS] = {IN_FORWARD, IN_BACK},
}

hook.Add( "SetupMove", "DisableKeys", function( ply, mvd, cmd )

if TeamAllow[ply:Team()] then
for k,v in pairs(TeamAllow[ply:Team()]) do
if mvd:KeyDown( v ) then
mvd:RemoveKeys( v )
end
end
end
end )[/lua]

No errors, but only jump is being removed from players. You are still able to move back and forward.[/QUOTE]

If anyone get stuck with this also, I did it a pretty crude way:

[lua]
hook.Add( "StartCommand", "Disable Jumping", function( ply, ucmd )
if ply:Team() == TEAM_SIDEWAYS then
ucmd:SetSideMove( 0 )
elseif ply:Team() == TEAM_WONLY then
if ucmd:GetForwardMove() < 0 then
ucmd:SetForwardMove( 0 )
end
ucmd:SetSideMove( 0 )
elseif ply:Team() == TEAM_SONLY then
if ucmd:GetForwardMove() > 0 then
ucmd:SetForwardMove( 0 )
end
ucmd:SetSideMove( 0 )
end
end )
[/lua]

[QUOTE=naTlatsyrC;49807564][lua]--some code--

hook.Add("TTTBeginRound", "PS ReEquip", function()
local self = player.GetAll()
timer.Simple(1, function()

if self:PS_HasItemEquipped(id) then end
for item_id, item in pairs(self.PS_Items) do
local ITEM = PS.Items[item_id]

ITEM:OnEquip(self, item.Modifiers)
end
end

end)[/lua] [/QUOTE]

You might want to look in your console for errors, it's a really easy way to find out what you did wrong.
self is defined as player.GetAll(), which is a table. However, you try to use the metafunction that is only defined for the "Player" metatable, PS_HasItemEquipped.
Instead, loop through the player.GetAll() table (If you make "self" the value you won't have to change the code much)

I have this problem where some admin groups can not pick up cars, so I tried to fix it with this scrip.

function carFix(ply, ent)
	if ply:IsAdmin() and ent:GetClass():lower() == "prop_vehicle_jeep" then
		return true
	end
	print(ply:IsAdmin())
end
hook.Add("PhysgunPickup", "Only allow admins to pick up cars", carFix)

However when I ran this it didn't seem like it triggered the PhysgunPickup when I used it on a car (ply:IsAdmin() didn't print when using the physgun on a car). Any ideas what the problem might be or ideas for a fix?

That would work if the player was subscribed, but we also have to consider if they downloaded the content as they joined the server and cached it, which doesn't require subscription

[Endor96]

[QUOTE=MPan1;49809461]Try returning false[/QUOTE]

Now that's strange o.O. That worked so that it made admins unable to pick up the cars even tho it didn't print that ply:IsAdmin() was true.

So I changed the code to this and tried with the group that didn't work

function carFix(ply, ent)
	if ply:IsAdmin() and ent:GetClass():lower() == "prop_vehicle_jeep" then
		return true
	else
		return false
	end
	print(ply:IsAdmin())
end
hook.Add("PhysgunPickup", "Only allow admins to pick up cars", carFix)

What happened was that the superadmin rank could lift cars and nothing else, and the group with the problem could lift nothing(not even cars).

EDIT:
ply:IsAdmin() returns true for the affected group
Apparently the affected group can't touch anything under the Vehicles tab.

It didn't print anything because when you return within a function the function is done, it doesn't continue down the function code because the function did what it was meant to do and returned. Also I wouldn't do the else statement and returning false because then it'd break any other hooks that rely on it to be called.

Oh fak, that's right -.- ... And I did the return false for testing. Also see EDIT

EDIT: NVM... I solved it, apparently a cardealer script I had disabled it.

Perhaps you could check if a certain global variable exists, or a hook if the other mod doesn't have any global variable.

[QUOTE=DarthTealc;49809918]I'm trying to code a Nextbot that will only chase you if you can't see it. I'm using [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/Visible[/url] but it doesn't work the way I'd expect it.

I'm using self:Visible(self:GetEnemy())
self is the nextbot, GetEnemy returns the player. The way I'd expect this to work is that it'd return true (and I'd prevent it from chasing) if any part of the entity's model is visible on my screen. How it seems to work is it returns true if the npc's origin and player's origin are within the same area (possibly visleaf?). This means it's moving at times I can see the upper part of the model, and it refuses to move at times when I've turned around or put a prop up to stop me seeing it.

Is there a different function I should be using? Essentially I just want to be able to detect if the model is visible on the screen or not.[/QUOTE]

You can also try to create your own function. Something like this:

WARNING UNTESTED!
[lua]
function ENT:InFieldOfView( pos )

local fov = math.rad( math.cos( 110 ) )
local v = ( Vector( pos.x, pos.y, 0 ) - Vector( self:GetPos().x, self:GetPos().y, 0 ) ):GetNormalized()

if self:GetAimVector():Dot( v ) > fov then
return true
end

return false

end
[/lua]

Is Entity:SetModel() networked?
If I apply a new model this way to an entity on server-side, it does change what the model looks like, but the physics of the entity stay the same (if it was a small model originally and you set it to a large model you can now clip/walk inside it).

Any idea how to update the physics too, or why this is happening?

I'm pretty sure you can update the physics at the same time as updating the model. Either that or I'm a dumbass.

Try calling Spawn() on it after you set the model.
if it work, DON'T USE THIS IN PRODUCTION!!!!! Because I don't remember how to destroy physic object (and you will create another one).

What admin addons do you have installed? ULX? Evolve? Exsto? Maestro? FAdmin? (FAdmin comes installed with DarkRP by default)

You should probably try to fix the problem at the source (likely cause by an admin mod) instead of trying to override it with some of your own lua.

Can anyone tell me why some of my workshop thumbnails do this:

[maxer421]

Need help on fixing this script i'm trying to make. I want to make it so players that are wanted go to jail when they are killed.

I started off with this

WantedDeathMessage = "You have been arrested upon death due to your wanted status." 

function GM:PlayerDeath( victim, inflictor, attacker )
	if 	victim:isWanted() then
		victim:Arrest()
		victim:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTCENTER, ..WantedDeathMessage.. )
	end
end

Then I was told to add a hook and get rid of the double dots. I was given this:

local WantedDeathMessage = "You have been arrested upon death due to your wanted status." 

hook.Add( 'PlayerDeath', 'ArrestDeadPlayers', function( victim, inflictor, attacker )
	if victim:isWanted() then
		victim:Arrest()
		victim:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTCENTER, WantedDeathMessage )
	end
end )

I tried using it, but it ends up not working/doing nothing in my server. I have the file under garrysmod/lua/autorun. Anyone have any ideas?

[QUOTE=DarthTealc;49816361]IsLineOfSightClear acts exactly the same as Visible (at least for me), and adapting your example does work for fov-testing but the entity still thinks it is being seen when there's a prop in the way. Was hoping there would be a function that takes that into account but I can't find one. Thanks anyway.[/QUOTE]

Add a traceline to the FOV check aswell, if the trace hits anything (like a prop) you know that the line of sight is blocked.

Is there any way to override a player spawn point without an Entity?
I looked at [url]https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/PlayerSelectSpawn[/url] but this functions wants an entity as return and not pos/angles.

You could always just move them when they spawn, e.g.

hook.Add( 'PlayerSpawn', 'moveplayer', function( ply )
    ply:SetPos( Vector( 0, 0, 0 ) )
end )

I think there was another way to do this though
